In Brief

A campervan caught fire at an Esso station in Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd. The owner went back into the burning vehicle for his Jack Russell terrier, and a staff member grabbed the petrified dog and ran to safety. The dog was unharmed; the owner suffered facial burns.

On the afternoon of 22 May 2026, a campervan caught fire at the Esso station on the A487 in Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd, Wales. The owner re-entered the burning vehicle to retrieve his Jack Russell terrier, which was frozen with fear. A female staff member snatched the dog and ran to safety seconds before the flames engulfed the vehicle.

Fire crews from Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog extinguished the blaze. The fire destroyed the campervan and damaged a toilet block and a parked Ford Kuga. The owner sustained superficial facial burns; the dog was unharmed.

Car camping: what you need to know before your trip

The article covers key aspects of car camping. Booking a campsite is straightforward, but wild camping with a motor vehicle in the UK is restricted: Dartmoor allows only non-motorised options, and Scotland requires pre-approved sites. Three main types are described: sleeping inside the car, using rooftop tents, and pitching a regular tent next to the vehicle. Practical gear recommendations include a sleeping bag, torch, power bank, and V2L technology for electric cars. Legal warnings about alcohol consumption while in the car are also provided.
